Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused colleges and universities to opt for online teaching and learning as a way to keep their faculty, staff and students safe. Lurking is one of the common activities that occur in an online learning context. The majority of the available literature on lurking in online communities in the context of education is dated, while studies on lurking during the emergency remote learning period has not been thoroughly explored. Thus, the proposed study aims to understand lurking behaviors among postgraduate students in the context of emergency remote learning. To this end, qualitative case study method will be employed to provide a rich understanding of why students lurk during online learning. This study aspires to facilitate lecturers to understand why certain students are inactive during online learning from the students’ point of view and devise ways to promote active participation from students during online learning.
